I just lost some respect for Lexus. I didn't realize they offered an F sport of the Ct200h.

Cool plate though

Honestly, I didn't either man.

The CT isn't anything special from the get-go, but I wanted a daily that was decent on gas while still maintaining a level of comfort.

I came across the CT, which is just a Prius with some fancy gimmicks. This one in particular is the Fsport SE (Special edition) which comes with front and rear sway bars, chassis braces and f sport lowering springs which lower the front and rear I think 1" or somewhere around there, and special interior trim such as the blue hued nu-lux material - it's basically the 'fully loaded' version for a 2012, which I guess the SE was a bit rare.

With the suspension setup, it handles quite darn well especially in "Sport" mode that is adjusted in the cockpit, taking the on ramps at 40+ is honestly a breeze though I don't do it too often.

For a daily, it's perfect enough for me especially within only about a 15ish round trip commute to the office. I didn't plan on 'modding' it but I use it when my work calls me in for emergencies too, hence the light bar in the back.

Thanks for the kind words.

On the plates. Is that a special plate? Or did IL change their design?

Thanks, man.

They are Illinois Fire Fighter Memorial Plates.

I got them to honor one of my good friends that passed away a few years ago - he was also a fire fighter so; just figured I'd try to be somewhat creative with the plate in the meantime.

I'm sorry for your loss, but that's a cool way to honor him.
